| At the risk of sounding dumb, have you tried:

| CPPFLAGS=-I/home/jas/numeric/include LDFLAGS=-L/home/jas/numeric/lib
| ./configure --prefix=/home/jas/numeric

I don't think there is any difference with modern autoconf-generated
configure scripts.

With somewhat older versions of autoconf, I think that variables
specified on the configure command line were preserved in
config.status, but random variables in the environment were not.
